Dash Panel Rocker Switches...

Very generous offer but I've got one, thanks. -
I installed these earlier this year after reading every thread I could find on Rennlist and 6spo. It took a while for me to understand what was going on with the side markers and blown fuses. And you're right, it happens because the original bulbs are not polarized, but LEDs are. The problem is that the "skinny wire" (the wire for the side markers) has a plug that can be connected either way. You have to look at the wires and make sure you connect red to red -- that is, you have to connect the red wire of the wiring harness to the red wire of the side marker plug. This ensures that the polarity is correct. If you do this, it works OK -- at least, it did for me. If you connect it incorrectly, you'll blow the fuse.

The batwing is 996.552.335.00.01C ... 12 bucks from Pelican Parts. I'm actually looking into going the other way -- I bought an extra batwing because I want to install aftermarket seat heaters before next winter. -
Yup, I have the same problem. Adaptor arrived a few days ago. Tried to put my 26mm impact socket on it, socket is too small. Put everything away, haven't figured out yet what to do about it.
